St Monica - the mother of St Augustine
Today is the feast day of St Monica.
It has also reminded me of Fr Alan's mantra - "Close your book of complaints!"
Fr Alan told us of this story of St Monica sitting next to St Augustine and his mistress for years eating their meals. She said nothing and kept her mouth shut. St Monica had closed her book of complaints.
Fr ALan said, God answered St Monica's prayers, and at the age of 33, St Augustine walked down the baptismal font with his son and became a Christian.
St Monica - pray for us.
